    *Update: This tensioner has been on my car for over a year and a half now and its still holding up great. No issues

    This tensioner arrived quickly from Amazon and was well packaged. It was a pretty straight forward install. No special tools needed. Just need a socket (forget which size) and a ratchet. Upon inspecting this tensioner and the one I took out, they look nearly identical. I had it installed in my car now for several months and it's been working fine. Seems to be as good as the OEM and easy to install. Much cheaper than what you would buy from the Nissan dealer. I would definitely recommend this product to my family and friends.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good value for a gates
    Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    The gates tensioner was very hard to put on my car. I have a 2008 Altima with a 2.5 L engine in it. In fact I didn't take the whole tension off what I did is I took the wheel off a new tensioner and put it on the old tensioner on the engine. The spring in the old tensioner had plenty of tension left in it. I also put a gate serpentine belt on a car and I had a spring I had to move the tensioner all the way to the end to the stop and I still had a hell of a time pushing the belt on the Belt was very tight. Forgive the misspelling but the Google voice text is very lousy. I think the wheel was just a hair bigger than the original wheel which made a little bit more difficult put the belt on.

    Inspecting the serpentine belt and related drive pulleys revealed the tensioner pulley had bearing grease over the pulley surface indicating near future eminent failure. The new pulley is a great replacement for the original. 2012 Nissan Rogue, 132,000 miles.

    Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    My tensioner was end of life on my 2005 Altima 2.5. The installation was challenging just due to the space available. Do yourself a favor and remove the alternator and fuse box to get the proper access when replacing the tensioner. Also, make sure you have some long ratchet and or wobble sockets to assist with the job as well. bolts will twist in a little bit at a time so patience here will be needed.
